So a new major version of Debian has been released, and now I see a lot of complaints about various issues stemming from an upgrade. I do not remember this many after an LTS Ubuntu version. I don’t want to rush to conclusions like “Ubuntu has money for better quality assurance”. I can easily come up with explanations for why these statistics can be skewed, like “Ubuntu-loving plebeians do not come to complain to elite Lemmy users about their puny problems”. I’m curious what you think?

    Do you think servers have it easy compared to personal computers? No pesky audio/video cards, bluetooth, etc…

    My server upgrade to Trixie had no issues. That’s good because it’s several thousand miles away on another continent… My laptop had a few burps with ranger, jekyll, and autokey that required googling.

    my experience so far

    Selection bias? I suspect Debian folks are more likely to notice problems and start looking for bug reports, talking about it, etc. Like my dorky blog entry above.

      Thank you! This selection bias was one of the possibilities I’ve considered…
